      @AlexMurphy I've tried powering the PiZero through a 1.5A Power Supply connected to the mains and a USB 3.0 port on my PC. Same issue on both. Note that with Raspbian running both of these work for powering the keyboard and it works as expected AND when RetroPie is powering up I can hit a few keys and it'll show in the terminal as it boots. The keyboard works.

      Not using any form of USB hub just OTG -> Keyboard.

        @adzter Neither the KB or controller would draw so much power to cause the issue. Not if you are powering the zero via 5V 1.5A supply. Avoid the USB power option it only complicates things! Have you any other elements in your setup that are personal to you or custom?

          @AlexMurphy Just to be certain I've attempted with a powered USB hub, same issue occurs. It says I've got a controller connected but can't do anything with it, no input again. Same with the keyboard

          There's no parts custom or personal, all standard leads/cables where there are any.

                      Does anyone know if this could possibly be the issue?

                        @adzter Even I have exactly the same error that you have. Same setup and the same sd card. It could be something wrong with the sd-card. I'll get a new one and test.

                        Tell us if you find a solution

                            I'm going to build the latest release from Github and try that, if that doesn't work i'll begin to pick through the source code until I find the issue.

                              When attempting to compile using Debian I was getting kernel panics and references to null pointers in memory. After trying a different SD Card, Cables, and power sources everything has only began to work once I've bought a new Pi.

                              I can only assume I've got a faulty unit?

                              Regardless I'm now able to run RetroPie on the exact same setup (with the Pi swapped out).
